HERE WE GO!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emily's POV:

I'm sitting in my bedroom, sitting on the chair as I rest my arms on the desk, letting my shoulders fall; starting out at the window in front of me, I notice the lights are on at Sue's place so I can tell that she is probably throwing some type of party since people keep coming in and out of her house. I can't believe it. They finally got married. I still despise that word.

Marriage.

Ugh.

What an awful thing to devote yourself too. I seriously have never heard such a submissive word since men take up so much time and get so annoyed when you aren't devoted to them. It's ridiculous.

I look down at my paper, seeing that nothing's being written. I take a deep breath in, letting my arms flow as I feel a poem stringing in my head, the words connecting as if they have been lost for decades and are finally together once more.

I grin as I begin to write my poem,

Y/n's POV:

I moved here to Amherst a handful of weeks ago, thankfully, I've managed to keep myself alone. Staying focusing on my writing. I'm sitting by my desk, a candlelight right beside me as I begin to write on a piece of paper.

"Y/n?" I hear my name being called by my little sister, I turn around and see Amy.

"Aimes? What're you doing up?" I ask her, standing up and picking up the candle, she sighs and lets her shoulders fall.

"I can't sleep." She mutters quietly, I pull a chair beside me and she sits herself down beside me; I rest my hand in her hair, letting my fingers brush through her hair as I continue to write. "Hm, thank you, Y/n." She thanks me, speaking quietly.

"I'll take you to bed once I'm done here, okay?" I respond to her softly, she nods her head lightly.

"Okay..." She mutters under her breath, taking a deep breath in and out. I continue to write, feeling myself almost release my entire emotions that I feel and have felt all day, into a piece of paper. Which is something that I aways feel so lucky to do.

Emily's POV:

I walk into town with a bucket waiting to be filled with water, as I'm heading in that direction of the well; I notice someone with a beautiful red dress just as my white, walking confidently down as a man I know all too well follows behind.

"Oh, come on, Y/n. You will love it." George expresses intently to the woman walking in front of her, a small scoff falls from her lips.

"I would rather die an old spinster and be on my own, my life of solitude awaits me, George! I can't believe that she would leave just like that, and over a man? She would really give up her own liberty for a man who doesn't know of her talents? It's appalling and degrading." The woman replies to him, glaring behind at him. I look at her; smiling. Intrigued.

"Oh, come on, Y/n. Just let me go with you—"

"—I do not need a man to be my date to a wedding, George—!"
